Description:
A comprehensive guide to world drama from Ancient Greece to the present day (in
this instance the mid-1970s). As the author explains in the Introduction, the
book concentrates mainly, but not exclusively, on the straight theatre, and is
divided into a number of sections carefully chosen to help the playgoer and
student alike.
Contents include entries for almost 400 playwrights; an A-Z of theatrical terms;
descriptions of theatre architecture through the ages; plus much, much more.

Illustrated throughout with superb full-colour and b&w photographs, drawings, and
reproductions – many of which are full-page.

Apart from some light tanning on the flaps, the jacket is in excellent condition.
The spine has been bumped and a dedication cut out from the fep, otherwise the
book is almost as new.
